"Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comforting to cry in a CORVETTE than in a Kia"
We went halo halogen on our 69 convertible,
It was a bit of a journey to do so but it was well worth it. We completely replaced the headlight loom using the wire diagram and also wired it up so there are four headlights on low beam and four on high beam. I think from memory the headlight switch can handle up to 15 amps however the headlights draw 5 amps each so we wired in a relay on both the high and low circuits as well as an in-line fuse. it took us the best part of the day to complete but that was building the custom loom from single wires and enclosing it in anaconda. The lights are as good as today’s models and you can actually see the road and the kangaroos 🦘 which can really f*<#k up the front end if I ever did hit one.

It used to be in the USA that you could not run 4 headlights when on low-beam. Not sure if that is still an issue, since most new cars don't have individual lights in their body-molded light designs.
